Salford University will next week be welcoming their first tenants to the brand new Peel Park Quarter in their student village.

According to developers, students don’t want to be confined to the traditional areas like Rusholme and Fallowfield.

They want everything on their doorstep in the heart of the city.

Trevor Moore, chief executive of Vita Student, said there was a huge demand for high-quality student accommodation.

He said: “Today’s modern-day student expects more than a single bed and shared bathroom in digs that are miles away from the university campus.

“They want luxury, state-of the art facilities in the heart of their chosen city.

“Our residence not only delivers on this but is equally committed to providing a level of customer service that is previously unheard of in the student accommodation sector.

“The fact that we achieved 100pc occupancy last year and are fully booked for this academic year with a waiting list of students wanting to live with us shows that our proposition is perfectly aligned with what modern students want from their university accommodation.”
